Help from OSHA

OSHA has posted a record keeping advisor to assist employers with record keeping compliance. From the post

The OSHA Recordkeeping Advisor is intended to help determine:

Whether an injury or illness (or related event) is work-related 

Whether an event or exposure at home or on travel is work-related

Whether an exception applies to the injury or illness

Whether a work-related injury or illness needs to be recorded

Which provisions of the regulations apply when recording a work-related case

OSHA and crowd control for retailers

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued a fact sheet for retailers expecting large crowds of holiday shoppers. Last year a security guard died after he was trampled by shoppers. The fact sheet is available at the OSHA.gov site. Sometimes the link to the fact sheet produces gibberish. Those who read OSHA regs will appreciate the irony.
